Chapter 437: For the Red Face (1)
The heart that was still ambitious just now was instantly cold, Ling Jingyang was in pain and angry, like a bull being provoked, a pair of eyes became redder than flames because of anger, gritting his teeth and Fang Xiaoyan ordered to sneak into Yicheng again, even if that Wan Qing was tied up, he must find Bai Lushui.
Fang Xiaoyan was frightened by Ling Jingyang, it was also the first time he saw Ling Jingyang's murderous intent, he didn't dare to say a word, turned his head and left, he just left, Ling Jingyang immediately summoned his generals, and invited He Zhen to come to the barracks, after everyone came, Ling Jingyang changed his previous attitude of intimidating the Chongzhen court in Yicheng, and ordered all troops and horses to prepare for battle, and bombard the north gate of Yicheng tomorrow.
Everyone was confused, how did the graceful Governor Ling Du just now become so angry, He Zhen was not Ling Jingyang's subordinate, he and Ling Jingyang said: "Ling Dudu, it is not a wise move for our soldiers and horses to storm Yicheng, and please ask Ling Dudu to take back his order, don't make senseless sacrifices." β
Ling Jingyang realized that he was out of shape, but he thought that Bai Lushui might be in Yicheng, or maybe in the palace, and there was only Zhu Youzhen in the palace, so he pulled out his waist knife and said fiercely to He Zhen: "General He, the governor of the five armies in our city, my military order, you also have to refuse?" β
His anger made the generals under his command look at He Zhen with ill intentions, and He Zhen also realized that Ling Jingyang was not lying, but really wanted to attack Yicheng.
He was busy fighting with Ling Jingyang.
"Governor Lingdu, our troops and horses will be the vanguard tomorrow."
In order to cooperate with Fang Xiaoyan, Ling Jingyang ordered the troops to stop advancing, so as not to order martial law in Yicheng, and Fang Xiaoyan had no chance to sneak into Yicheng.
It was also because he ordered the advance to stop, which made Chongzhen's monarchs and ministers relax their vigilance and did not issue a lockdown in time, Fang Xiaoyan and a group of people mixed into Yicheng that night.
This time sneaking into Yicheng, Fang Xiaoyan came to Ximen Zhu's mansion again, Ximen Zhu was surprised why he came back again, and said to him: "General Fang, is it Lingdu Governor who changed his route?" β
But Fang Xiaoyan didn't mention the army to him, but said to him: "Ximen Shilang, you are an official of the imperial court, have you ever heard that there is a happy event in the imperial court?" β
Ximen Zhuyi didn't understand, he didn't understand that Fang Xiaoyan would be bored enough to inquire about the royal secrets, and he didn't bother to collect them

With this information, He Fang Xiaoyan said that he did not have this information.
Fang Xiaoyan raised Ling Jingyang and asked Ximen Zhu to inquire about this information immediately, Ximen Zhu saw Fang Xiaoyan's eyes, knew that this matter was important, and immediately thought of Wang Chengen and Li Jiantai who had a conflict, maybe they could get useful information from Li Jiantai.
He asked Fang Xiaoyan to disguise himself as his attendant, and went to visit Li Jiantai's house that night.
Li Jiantai is Zhu Youzhen's celebrity, of course, he knows that His Majesty is going to marry a folk girl, and he also thinks that His Majesty is separated, and the top priority is to continue the royal bloodline and marry the royal family as soon as possible to give birth to a new prince.
He was about to fall asleep, and the next person ran over, and told him that Ximen Zhu, the household servant, asked to see him outside the door, Ximen Zhu ran from Ling Jingyang, and was tepid in the imperial court, Li Jiantai didn't want to see Ximen Zhu, but thinking that Ximen Zhu was Ling Jingyang's subordinate, maybe he still had contact with Ling Jingyang, and it was always good to know one more friend, so he asked his subordinates to welcome Ximen Zhu into the door.
He entertained Ximen Zhu in the hall, Ximen Zhu came in a hurry, did not prepare a gift, and brought all the 1,000 taels of silver given to him by Fang Xiaoyan, and after seeing Li Jiantai, he asked Fang Xiaoyan and another subordinate to carry the silver up and give it to Li Jiantai respectfully.
Li Jiantai was also frightened by Ximen Zhu, even if he asked for help, he couldn't come up and send silver?
"Simon Squire, what are you doing here?"
In front of Li Jiantai, Ximen Zhu lowered his posture, and said to him very modestly: "Lord Li, the lower officials are conscientious in the imperial court, but they can't find the way, and the other colleagues are either promoted, or sent to the place as officials, it seems that only the lower officials are motionless in the position of the squire?" β
Li Jiantai touched his beard and didn't speak, Ximen Zhu secretly scolded the old fox, lowered his posture, and said to Li Jiantai: "The lower officials are willing to worship Master Li as a teacher, please take in my disdainful disciple." β
The lower his posture, the more vigorously Li Jiantai burns, his position in the court is not as good as Wang Chengen, Wang Chengen has a lot of power in the six departments, he is a red man in front of His Majesty, but the actual power is not big, and there is not a single ally in the six departments, tonight Ximen Zhu came to worship the pier, he can finally invade the power in the six departments.

"Ximen Zhu, you can come, the old man is really excited in his heart, from now on, you will follow the old man, and the old man will definitely push you to the Hubu Shangshu."
The expression on Ximen Zhu's face became even more excited, and his words were excited to show his loyalty.
"The love of the teacher, the students are grateful, and the teacher will have something to tell in the future."
"Well, from now on, you and I will work together to compete with the king in the imperial court, do you understand what it means to be a teacher?"
Ximen Zhu savored Li Jiantai's words, and smiled in his heart, it seems that Li Jiantai and Wang Chengen have contradictions, the contradictions are very intense, Li Jiantai accepted him as an apprentice tonight, he should have been suppressed by Wang Chengen very badly, he was angry and Li Jiantai vented his hatred for Wang Chengen.
Wang Chengen and Ximen Zhu have no grievances, but at this time, in order to please Li Jiantai, Ximen Zhu scolded Wang Chengen in his heart, so that Fang Xiaoyan on the side also sighed infinitely, how can this scholar's mouth be better than a woman.
The more he scolded, the more Li Jiantai recognized him in his heart, and after Ximen Zhu scolded for a while, Li Jiantai waved his hand and asked him not to continue scolding, and said to him: "Ximen Zhu, your household servant is an important department of the imperial court, second only to the military department." β
Ximen Zhu saw that he had something to say, in order to highlight the importance of the household department, he replied to Li Jiantai, the military department asked for grain and grass from the household department every month, and most of these grain and grass were transferred by him to the military department, Li Jiantai squinted his eyes, and Ximen Zhu said: "Next time the military department comes to ask for grain and grass, let him come to the division's mansion." β
"The students obeyed."
Hearing Ximen Bamboo's whiskers and slapping horses, Li Jiantai didn't mention how happy he was.
Ximen Zhu respectfully obeyed Li Jiantai's command, but his purpose tonight was not really to defect to Li Jiantai, he wanted to inquire about the royal family's recent wedding date, seeing that Li Jiantai was in a good mood, he said lightly: "Teacher, students these days, in the city, I see the palace attendants buying some wedding gadgets, could it be that there is a happy event in the palace?" β
Li Jiantai is a big celebrity of His Majesty, of course he knows that His Majesty is going to marry a folk woman, he thinks that His Majesty's wedding must be announced to the world, Ximen Zhu is his student, and he is also a household servant, so that this protΓ©gΓ© knows His Majesty's wedding in advance, and it is also a sweetness for him to Ximen Zhu.
